There is a lot of talk on here by people that dont know the situation on the motor he just sold.  It was a huge p.o.s. that the guy that built it lied to him about.  Nothing matched, bearings had some scarring on them, cast pistons(probably not balanced), the list goes on guys.  I really cant blame him for selling it and doing everything right for a change.

Thanks,   as of now, not any mods to my engine and I have been pleased with the edlebrock.. But, I said in another thread, I am almost ready to send my boat to TOm with a $20K check atteched telling him to do whatever he feels!!!!

THanks for the insight, I guess I was just wondering if I switched back to a holley, what would differece be.  and with what I am running, i dont think i woujld notice squat>

Well just remember this and I think I am quoting Ralph on this but "an engine is an air pump, the more you can get in and out and faster the better."  I also know that the more efficient you can get an engine to run the more HP potential it will have.

Wouldnt that be a "bigducer" lol

They still make them.  You have to be sure you get a reverse spin one though.  They even make a gear reduction one.

Thanks for re-saying that the Mustang is so run of the mill that almost any kid can buy a run of the mill mustang!

My point is proven your a focken tard. 

i say who cares....the people makin the most noise here dont have running boats. 

My boat would be running if I wasnt waiting on shit to get here!

HEY THATS ENOUGH OF THAT NONSENSE!!!!

Exactly, they're all about the same, don't care what magazines say cause they always say different shit on which one is better   

I MEAN PROVING THAT THE FORD IS FASTER ON A TRACK.  THE DODGE WAS OVER A SECOND SLOWER THAN THE OTHER TWO.  WHILE THE FORD WAS HALF A SECOND FASTER THAN THE CHEVY.

The GT is not a straight line drag car!  The GT has a lot smaller engine than the other 2.  The GT has better numbers on a track when put up against other exotic supercars.  The GT was built to be a Ferrari killer and it does.

I would say the GT is holding is own pretty fuking good here on a test done by road and track.

Remember it's Ford GT..........not GT 40.

Either one is a vette spanker!

I would take this over a GT any day and I will still have $60,000 in my pocket!



On a side note:

...the full planned lot of 4500 were not produced. Approximately 550 were built in 2004, nearly 1900 in 2005, and just over 1600 in 2006, for a grand total of 4038; however, the final 11 car bodies manufactured by Mayflower Vehicle Systems were disassembled and the frames and body panels sold as service parts.

1. Ford Didnt even make the cars
2. Couldnt even sell em all!

 

So i guess you and everyone else could drive a vette.  not nearly the performace of a gt but hey whose keeping track right!  i dont know about you but i dont want to drive what just about any kid out of high school could get financed for!  What is really sad is that a lot of ford dealerships have mustangs sitting on thier lots that could hang with a vette.  Now thats mighty impressive sounding for chevy!

I cant find the place right now but I will keep looking for ya.  As far as measuring all you have to do is determine the length of the area that you want covered as well as the width and how tall ya want it.  Measure it from where you would mount it.
